Scarlett Johansson tries out her comedy chops in Rough Night, a girls night out film directed and co-written by Lucia Aniello. Johansson is backed up by a hilarious supporting cast including Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, and Zoë Kravitz.

In the R-rated comedy Rough Night, five friends from college reunite when they rent a beach house in Miami for a wild bachelorette weekend that goes completely off the rails.  Just when all hope is lost, they realize there’s more to the story than they could’ve ever imagined.

“This movie might seem to be about friends who find themselves in a not-so-average bachelorette party through a series of very over-the-top events, but the movie is really about friendship,” says Johansson. “We often can take for granted the people that know us the best… This movie is a sort of cautionary tale about taking that for granted – and also it’s a celebration of that kind of deep friendship. Underneath this wild, R-rated comedy is a movie with a very warm heart about friendship.”

“I think it’s obvious that there’s been a dearth of stories told from the perspective of women, especially in the comedy world,” says Aniello. “Nothing against the R-rated comedies directed by men – but it does feel like the authenticity of a woman’s point of view can only make the female characters feel that much more authentic.”

Rough Night is rated 14A.
